He was constantly calling t" ana pressing forward his equqpe, hjs guards and his e.naelimcn: and this, wias the only an- pearance of anger tllatdie. allowed to es cape his lips. Worn Jut and humbled with the immobility to which nature had condemned him, he soamcd desirous of at least commanding like a king the roads, the landscape and tliciistanoc. He en joyed the whin of lus driVe, as captiVe enjoys lus Hour ot sunshine. At six o'clock, the king returned from his daily drive, and dined with the royal family; the great officers of the house hold also sittinif down to the table. The conversation, which whs free, general and familiar, enlivened its formality; care being taken to tivoid those political sub jects on which the royal family enter tained different opinions. The fing fre quently addressed himself to tlw court iers, who were standing round the table; he conversed aloud, evidently with a wish to be heard by all present, and enjoyed the impression which his witty remarks and exquisite tact made upon his audit ors. After this he returned to his pri vate apartments, Whither his family fol lowed him, to continue the conversation a few moments longer.' To this succeed ed a period of unrestrained and familiar chat with some courtiers, the companions of his evil days,, which he enjoyed till bed-lime, with the zest of a man relieved at last from the burthen of the clay. The natural cast of his mind, cultivated, re flective, but quick withal, s tored with re collcctions, rich in anecdotes; ripe with philosophy, full of reading, ready at quo tation, but by no means of a pedantic character, placed hhn at that period, on a level with the most celebrated geniuses and literary men ot Ins age M.de Cha- teaubriand'had not more elegance, M. de Talleyrand more fiknev. or Madame de Stail more brilliancy. rNcAw inferior, always equal, and very often superior, to those with whom lie conversed on every subject; more flexible, perhaps, than they were, and more diversified, for he changed both tone anil subject, according i to the- person with whom he conversed.

H., OHIO, THURSDAY, might be traced by fragments of paperrs. journals and voluntas, scattered by the way-side. In front of the seal which he occupied was suspended on a!! occasions the best chart which it was possible to procure Of the district through whicji he passed. Every post or village was marked upon it ; especially those at which relays of horses were in waiting, and the neces sary accommodation lor a halt provided ; for though his halts were few, while fol lowing ; lie track rtf the army, they did occasionally occur ; and the same order and system distinguished his proceedings in a temporary as in tt permanent abode. For example the best room in the house was invariably selected as his cabinet, or chamber of work. On a table, placed in the middle. were araned maps of the countries in which military operations happened to be in progress, having each separate position of each separate corps, division and brigade laid down, as well as the roads and communications, the bridges, defiles, ect., ect., which led from ! the one to the oilier. J he enemy's posts were marked in like manner, and the forces of different nations distinguished by pins, having heads of various colours red. black and green. And all this was done with such perfect regularity and posed head'quarters when he might, he could at once betake himself fo his fa-! forethought, that let hun reach his pro four comers of the room, tables were set, with stools or chairs for ihe use of his secretaries. To these gentlemen it was his cQstom to dictate simultaneously for he possessed the rare quality of giving judgement upon almost any number ot different subjects at the same time. His custom was this: he walke j backwards and forwari. . generally with his hat on, and almost alv ?ys having his hands crossed behind his back, and delivered in short, and olten in broken sentences, his opinions on matters which pressed for immediate attention. To one table he would dictate Instructions for the hall or j movement ol the troops ; lo another he j would pffcrfounce his decision on ques tions o: hnahce, or Ihe administrative gov ernment of the empire; a third would probably receive his answers to the letters of his ambassadors iri foreign countries ; and by (he lotirth, not unfrequen'.ly, his private correspondence was carried on.

A few days ago, a couple of individuals of this genus, be ing seated on a sunny nook, near a wharf, at whjch a California-bound vessel was lying, their conversation very naturally turned upon gold, as neither of the twain was the possessor of a single red cent, and they amused themselves by wishing for the precious metal, "Bill," said one to the other, "I Ml tell .' . . 1 I 1 1 T ' I. 1. .1 1 JWjusi. now mucn goiu i wish i nau, anu 1 1 be satished.
